Well I think we still have a looooooot to learn from eachother. Just because we live in the USA or another western country. Indonesian culture is filled with mysticism and the type of knowledge like in Merpati Putih, Chi Kung etc., which we know little of in the west and tend to dismiss all as bs. Vibravision awakens new pathways in the brain and allows people to tap into their unused potentia. That they know how things work and can prove it.that is.unless someone comes around and proves otherwise.įrom a martial point of view, i'm not too sure i'm a fan of Merpati Putih, but that doesn't matter, it is Silat and they have an Indonesian background. With regular practice of breathing exercises and meditation, the practitioner gradually develops his awareness of subtle sensations. Our surrounding is composed of vibrations. To a certain degree Western science has also become a religion, in that people are fanatic to defend the current state of knowledge. Getaran (vibravision) Getaran is the second feature that distinguishes pencak silat from other martial arts. Not by blindly following it, but by reasoning, by experimenting. Luckily there are people that are willing to look at things from a different perspective. Perhaps some useful stuff can be learned from both sides. The funny thing is, often the western medicine is on one side of the scale whilst eastern medicine used to be on the other end of the scale. However some people also call stuff like 'acupuncture, yoga, shiatsu, chi kung' etc bogus and fake stuff that doesn't work because there is no scientific proof, even though it's been around for hundreds or thousands of years and have actually healed people with it. I did see some very dubious and wild claims by Merpati Putih so that doesn't help. Instead of constantly calling people frauds, liars etc. Well then, at least we are having a more normal discussion now.
